This video dives into how the assumption of drum machines appearing in the early 80s is incorrect. It explores early electronic rhythm devices such as the Rhythmicon (1930), the Chamberlin Rhythmate (1957), Bandito the Bongo Artist (1963), Select-A-Rhythm (1964), the PAiA Programmable Drum Set (1975) and the CompuRhythm CR-78 (1978).
